Garbage in, garbage out! This AI is woefully badly trained.

Sigh...

It's not racial bias, it works from a limited dataset and what it understands a "professional headshot" even is.

Seems like some ragebait to me.

Seriously, though, I'd love to know how biased companies are. Part of me thinks that they'd be more likely to call her in for an interview.
